The hero variety of the region, Woodstock Shiraz is sourced from Woodstock Estate. A combination of deep root growth, moist sub soils and milder summer temperatures allows for slow even ripening of our shiraz fruit- great for full flavoured, elegant styles of wine. Deep Sands Shiraz grapes were fermented on skins for a minimum of 5 days, with the fermenting must being pumped over twice daily. Post ferment, the wine was pressed off of skins to be matured in stainless steel tanks, with a small amount aged in 2nd and 3rd use oak for up to 12 months.Brilliant crimson in colour, this shiraz has a vibrant red fruit bouquet of cherry and plum. The palate is earthy and rich, exhibiting generous fleshy red fruit supported by white pepper spice and softly structured tannins. This bright and elegant shiraz will age well for 5-10 years.
